This book discussion features author Scott Eyman being interviewed by Mary Weiss
Explore Charlie Chaplin’s fall from grace in the aftermath of World War II. Chaplin was criticized for being politically liberal and internationalist in outlook and had never become a U.S. citizen, and his sexual interest in young women became a convenient way for those who opposed his politics to condemn him. Refused permission to return to the U.S. after a trip abroad, he settled in Switzerland. Eyman, formerly the literary critic at The Palm Beach Post, is the author or co-author of 16 books. He and his wife, Lynn, live in West Palm Beach.
